Yet another clip from Superman has been released, and it reveals that the Man of Steel has told other people aside from Lois Lane that his secret identity is Daily Planet reported Clark Kent.

The clip finds Lois attempting to convince The Justice Gang (Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific) to help Superman, who turned himself over to the authorities when Lex Luthor broadcast some footage that swayed public opinion against the hero.

Though this isn't a major plot reveal by any means, here's your spoiler warning.

Guy Gardner asks Lane if she knows about the hypno-glasses which alter his appearance, and it's then we learn that Kal-El has told the three members of the Justice Gang that he is really Clark Kent because they are also "of the cloth."

Social media reactions for Superman were mostly fairly positive, but that does tend to be the case. Will the full reviews tell a different story? Check back in a few hours to find out.

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

The cast also Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted last year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out a synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

At least the world is full comic book now. Will be interesting to see how something more serious like Lanterns fits in with the other campy outings

Hypno-glasses I will have to accept at some point but man it was not needed

@MisterBones - Makes perfect sense to me. In the comics the writers once gave Superman the power of elasticity, or some form of self-molecular control where he could alter his skin and appearance by stretching it. He even morphed into a reptilian when he first practised it. This power was only used briefly but I like the idea of it.

The hypno glasses on the other hand have credibility to it. Do you remember the winter soldier when black widow disguised herself as another woman with a holographic face mask… The hypno glasses could work similar to that concept. In reality, if superman existed he’d need a hefty disguise otherwise his identity would be exposed pretty easily.

@Canyoublush - I've always liked the concept of Superman being an AMAZING ACTOR who puts meticulous effort into crafting the mild-mannered Clark Kent persona. Also, leaning on the fact that no one would ever think that the Man of Steel would pretend to be a regular person with a 9-5 everyday.

@MisterBones - agreed.
People forget that WE are IN on the joke of Superman being Clark. Everyone on our planet knows that.
But the fictional characters have no idea. It's not as obvious to them as real people think it should be. .

@MisterBones - The height, stature, hair (including the colour) would give away his identity eventually, especially with characters such as Lex, Bruce & Lois because they’re highly intelligent, highly perceptive. I always had an issue with Lois not figuring out his identity until the second movie or fourth season. The one person who close to him, spends the most time with him doesn’t figure it out until a rock drops onto her head.

Yes the average person wouldn’t connect the dots so easily but to his friends or colleagues you’d think they’d notice the similarities sooner rather than later. One of my favourite scenes in Superman Returns is when Clark eavesdrops on a conversation between Lois and Richard. They’re discussing superman’s powers and Richard notices that Clark looks similar to superman to which Clark waves to them, reducing their suspicions. It’s little things like this that people would discover. Humans aren’t that primitive lol.

@Canyoublush - I have a few issues with the concept of hypnotic glasses.

1. It's unnecessary. Most Superman comics didn't used it, and especially the best stories never even touched the concept of why is it that people can't recognize him with glasses. Superman has at least 100 amazing stories, and in none of them that is ever a problem. So, by that, you notice that it isn't a necessity whatsoever.

2. Most people who bring that up don't even like the character to begin with.

3. It raises more question than answers them. Ok, if he wears hypno glasses, what are they made of? What technology does it use? What exactly does it project on people when he wears them, and why is it that we who watch the movie don't notice any difference? Why even cast a slim actor if he's gonna wear hypno glasses anyway? Wouldn't it be better to cast a bodybuilder as Clark anyway, since his physical appearance doesn't matter? Why does Clark acts clumsy if the glasses do all the job? Wouldn't it be appropriated to hire two different actors, one to play Superman, and one to play Clark then? So basically if he drops his glasses, or he stumbles somewhere and people see behind the glasses, everyone will notice he's Superman? Or is it just a crutch so you don't have to answer more questions about it? Is it gonna be a main point in the story, or is it just a way to escape the conversation? And the most important question: Why does it matter at all? Why give an explanation to why people recognize him, but don't go through the same scrutiny to explain why he has super strength, why he flies, why he shoots laser beams out of his eyes? At the end of the day, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

He's more Quentin Tarantino than Guy Gardner.

That was a brief but fun clip…

I liked that Lois is even like “why does he trust everyone” which feels very Superman but also shows the differences between the 2 as we have seen in the mock interview scene where this Clark can be more naive and optimistic while Lois is more pragmatic and perhaps even cynical.

Didn’t expect “The Justice Gang” to know Clark is Superman but it’s a fun wrinkle that could perhaps be used against the character in the future but we’ll see.

@ObserverIO - the negative review isn't a negative review. I watched that one last night and he liked the film but said the humor didn't land at times and that he wanted it to be a but closer to Man of Steel.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 7/8/2025, 12:39 PM
@McMurdo - It's certainly not a hate review. But he ends it saying it's a 'Nope' from him rather than a 'Dope' (the channel is called 'Nope or Dope').
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/8/2025, 1:03 PM
@ObserverIO - interesting. I didn't wait till the end watching it last night but if you had told me 75 percent of the way through whether he thought it was a good film with problems I'd have been certain he gave it a positive rating. Interesting even the negative reviews slant positive for this thing right now.

ObserverIO - 7/8/2025, 1:12 PM
@McMurdo - I was kinda surprised too, but he didn't actually seem all that excited when leaving the theater either. And most out-of-theater reactions for this are more in line with the positive review I posted. Just pure excitement.

Why is he acting like a klutz if he has hypno glasses? No one would see him as superman anyway so he could just be himself. Shit makes no sense.

Too serious - not serious enough - too comic book - not grounded. If you actually care about this stuff you need a life. Just give me a fun and entertaining movie to watch.

Should have gone with the face vibration thing. There would be no need to act like Kluts as @THEDARKKNIGHT1939 said above!

I always hated the hypno glass stuff. Hate it in the comics, it's unnecessary. It's a cop out and it only serves to answer those who don't like the character anyway. I never EVER heard from someone who actually liked the character: "Hey I love Superman, I just wish they would explain why is it that no one sees Clark is Superman, the glasses thing makes me not like the character". Its always a gripe people who don't like nor understand the character. So it's a cop out and I hate it that that it'll become mainstream now. Corenswet is a great actor who's trying to do good for the character. He could pull it off just like Reeve could. It's a cop out, and it's reactive, it only serves to answer all the Superman haters who don't give a damn about the character anyway. Stupid choice to go that route.

This reminds me of a scene from the old 1990s Justice League cartoon where the Flash is hesitant to reveal his secret identity to the rest of the team. Then Batman just blurts out everyone's real identity to show it's not a big deal.
